Kawasaki Disease Criteria (AHA 2017)
Diagnose classic and incomplete Kawasaki disease per AHA 2017 guidelines. Critical to start IVIG within 10 days to prevent coronary aneurysms.
Clinical Features
Supplementary Lab Criteria (for incomplete KD)
Diagnosis
Criteria not met
0/5 principal features · 0/8 lab criteria
Management
Continue evaluation for other causes of fever — viral exanthems, scarlet fever, measles, drug reaction, JIA, MIS-C (post-COVID). Re-evaluate daily; new features may emerge.
Coronary aneurysms are preventable
DoctorScribe auto-flags every prolonged fever ≥ 5 days for KD criteria check, pulls in CRP/ESR/echo, and pings the on-call cardiologist when criteria match — the late-treatment penalty is too high.
Don't miss Kawasaki on day 5
DoctorScribe flags any child with ≥ 5 days fever for KD screen, pulls in lab results, and queues echo + IVIG — built to prevent the late KD diagnosis that ruins coronaries.
